Stay Tuned.

Some idea

18" TE37SL would have cleared the Brembos

Just that RE30s can't, but I already got them.

18" BBS FI is nice, but $$$, I know of an F10 M5 that just got 20" RI-Ds, now that's NUTS

why didnt you sell the wheels instead of brakes you put the effort into? lots of wheels clear the 380s and you would have known that beforehand usually.

2 of my OEM wheels were found to be Bent without actually ever hitting anything, and I don't jump curbs or run through speed humps, so I wanted to downsize and hopefully I can get a more compliant ride.

I know lots of wheels will fit, but I like the Clubsports.

Also I drove my friend's 1M with Alcon Brakes, and they felt much better than my Brembo GT. This influenced my decision as well.

i would suggest a buy it once approach to modding. if you mess up and keep buying the same part over its such a waste. buy the best product you can find for each component and stick with it.

We all want to do that, but sometime, Never Try, Never Know.

If I've never tried Brembo GTs, how would I have known what to expect? Reviews are only a person's POV. So now I have my own review.

I feel fine.

Red seats but concerned about subtle brake calipers.

I.. don't understand.

^ Brakes are illegal to Modify in Hong Kong, and that's the 1st thing they check for Modified Vehicles here.

Any brakes that has a Bridge, is considered illegal.

So making is Subtle is Key to Longevity.
